As one of the last powerful remaining Death knights of Acherus, Orbaz Bloodbane was appointed as the commander of the order, receiving the title <The Hand of Suffering>.

Like in Acherus: The Ebon Hold before, there are three different death knight masters, each one teaching the adepts a path of the abilities of a death knight.

By order of Darion Mograine the Knights of The Ebon Blade based in Icecrown carried out an assault against the new death knight order, located underneath Icecrown Citadel itself with Malykriss still under construction. During the attack Orbaz Bloodbane was killed.
